"The truth. No; by nature man is more afraid of the truth than of
death--and this is perfectly natural: for the truth is even more
repugnant than death to a man's natural being. What wonder,
then, that he is so afraid of it? ... For man is a social
animal--only in the herd is he happy. It is all one to him
whether it is the profoundest nonsense or the greatest villainy--he
feels completely at ease with it, so long as it is a view of the
herd, or the action of the herd, and he is able to join the herd."
